Having to overcome a new challenge.
(mixed feelings about this one)

# data[].attributes.body
Worried that our thoughts, feelings and professional opinions are going to be ignored.

Excited to have an opportunity to make suggestions and add our thoughts, feelings, and professional opinions.

I am worried that we won't have everything ready and in place to make sure this is being done right.

I am excited about getting new furniture and that the EC classes look newer and more colorful

I am worried about working with 3 years old as I am not for that

It is very difficult to prepare for next year without a plan. And planning for furniture does not count yet. One should plan for furniture AFTER one has planned for the programme. That way one knows what will be needed.

Reply: We discussed that this is only about furniture. Programme specific resources will be purchased later. The furniture in my classroom has never impacted my teaching. I arrange the room as I choose, and work with what I have. Being able to have input into the furniture can only help.

I am excited that the current SS staff lounge could become a space for EC music and drama lessons - this would be appropriate and convenient but I imagine it will remain a staff room and not be transformed into a performing arts classroom....

I am worried that the assemblies will no longer be creative and age-appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
I am excited that the children have the possibility of shorter and more frequent lessons in music.

I am worried as I was not employed to teach 3-year old children but I am now expected to do so. I am not a trained pre-school teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried that the class sizes will be too large like EC1 this year. There should be a limit of 16 students per class.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not confident about my capabilities to handle 3 year olds. They have huge emotional and physical needs. I am concerned that I would have to work more as a care taker or creche manager instead of a teacher or a facilitator.

I am excited about the plan to include the outdoor area for the little ones. This opens so many possibilities for us to involve children in hands on learning and play.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried that I might be someone who would not be given responsible roles in this new structure.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of team teaching is also very exciting as I would learn so much from my experienced colleagues.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea of having new and latest design furniture for my dream classroom. Newly painted classroom, shiny floor and clean carpets would give me inspiration to be creative.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried about the safety of 3 year olds with no permanent assistant in the room with me. I would have to be on a constant watch.

# data[].attributes.body
I am excited to teach the mixed age classroom as this would be something new for me (a challenge).

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that we won't have enough space for the smaller children to move around.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that I won't be able to cope with the demands of smaller children, especially in a big class.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that I will be physically drained very quickly and won't have energy to work with the smaller children.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that my whole day will be devoted to observing children while they do their exploring activities and then spend my planning time writing anecdotals.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that I will not be challenged in my teaching skills, because the focus of my teaching will not be directed towards instructing the children how to read, write, add, count, etc. but instead it will be directed towards planning open learning, observations, child care,  Montessori, Reggio Emilia, non-structured teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that I will not be able to cope with the younger children without a permanent assistant for support, because I can not leave the children unattended if there is an emergency.

# data[].attributes.body
I am horribly worried that I am not trained to work with young children.

# data[].attributes.body
I love to be able to design my dream classroom.

Feel free to add any photos or visuals that may give us some inspiration
